Robert Sheckley (1928 – 2005) was an American Scifi author who mostly wrote short stories, but also a couple of full length novels, some of which were adapted for TV and screen. (The movie Freejack was based on his book "Immortality, Inc.," which is much better than the movie.)

Fellow Scifi writer Brian Aldiss said about him: "Sheckley at his best is Voltaire and Soda."

This ebook contains three typical Sheckleyian stories originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction. (The etexts are from Project Gutenberg.)
